Thrower had been in critical condition at Baton Rouge General's Regional Burn Center.

“On behalf of Baton Rouge General and our Regional Burn Center team, we express heartfelt condolences to Mr. Thrower’s family and friends for their loss, and to all those affected by this tragic event,” Baton Rouge General’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Floyd Roberts said in a prepared statement.

Of the three patients who were also being treated in the Regional Burn Center, one patient has been released and the remaining two patients are in good condition, hospital officials said.

No one was at Thrower's St. Amant home Friday and few neighbors were
present. Tracy and Chris Lemaire, who live across the street from the
Thrower family, said they didn't know them well but would exchange hellos when they saw them in their yard.

Scott Thrower had a young son who doted on him, Tracy Lemaire said. The family often took their boat out on weekends, and spent a lot of time with their next-door neighbors who are good friends, she said.
